Though I may have a thing for bad boys with snark I also have a secret weakness for geek boys. Nerdy guys in glasses who still manage to make you go weak at the knees especially when they smile or do something heroic or suddenly act all manly and badboyly when you least expect it.
Case in point.... Tom Hiddleston. Or Hiddles as his fans like to call him. The man is geek personified. He even wears glasses from time to time and geeky t-shirts.
He does have another side though. A inner bad boy vibe that comes out from time to time and the geek boy vanishes and is replaced with an intensity and seriousness that makes your ovaries explode.
Because yes geek boys have brains. And intense looks that make you go all melty.
It's no wonder then that he is rumoured to be in strong consideration as the next James Bond. Just watch The Night Manager and you'll see why.
The man is born to be Bond.
Geek guy, bad boy, suave, dashing and looks good in a suit. What more can you ask for.
And that smirk? Be still my beating heart.

Tall, dark and broody is a thing. A very worthwhile thing. Especially when it comes in the form of Rufus Sewell.
Eyes and a gaze that make your heart beat a little faster? Check. A voice that turns you into a puddle on the floor? Check. Bad boy vibe and ability to do snark in the best way possible? Check and double check.
You can, perhaps, see why I have a thing. Then again I have always had a weakness for bad boys and snark, especially in the fictitious world.
Added to that he is also a bloody good actor who has the ability to play a variety of roles from lovestruck hero to ruthless Nazi to eccentric lover, all with a touch of that bad-boy charming vibe.
He also looks pretty damn good in a suit.
